What the papers say

The managerial merry-go-round is set to start again this season, with the Daily Mail reporting that Slaven Bilic is to be relieved of his duties at West Brom. The Baggies notched up a point against Manchester City and sit 19th in the table having only won one game all season. The paper says Sam Allardyce is set to take over at the Hawthorns.

However, the Daily Star says Nigel Pearson, Mark Hughes and Eddie Howe are in the running for the job.
